Had a wonderful business dinner here! The staff were extremely accommodating to our party of 6. Thank you to manager, Eric, for all his help. Great menu including cocktails and fun upscale KBBQ experience. A fun modern twist on a business "steak dinner". read more

So the food here is pretty good and so is the ambiance but the service is really what fell flat especially for an upscale restaurant . I was staying at the hotel and encouraged to check out the restaurant so came downstairs to reach out to the host about a reservation. They told me they were fully committed the whole night, I said okay is there a waitlist, she looked at me unsure. I explained further if there is a cancellation would love to be notified and she wrote my name down. I went back to the lobby, looked on OpenTable and I saw multiple reservations. I went back to the hostess showing the 8:15 resy I got and she said it wasn't accurate and if someone booked it and came they would refuse them (what???!! There's a cancellation fee as well). I asked about the 8:45 and her coworker said that IS available. I was confused, because a minute ago she said they were fully commited. Which I said back, she said there is actually an 8:45 (okay so you lied). I asked if we could put our name down for that and did. After that extremely strange interaction, which I was not used to after eating at many higher end restaurants we sat down at 8:45. We ended up getting a mix of small plates. The waiter was clearly trying to sell us their expensive courses for his tip though he was very sweet... which he may not have realized we had an expense budget for work and we were trying not pass that. He emphasized the small plates were small and not enough food which we fell for and got more and had way too much food and passed our expense budget due to it. The food is great, it's the service that has work to do especially for such a high price tag. Get the chicken for sure. Dumplings you can pass on. The broccolini (not pictured) is great as well. Amazing sauce. As the food is good I would not come here again due to the service as their are other restaurants that are more buttoned up than this. read more

Unfortunately, one of my worst dining experiences was in Chicago. Starting off, our food was delicious. I have nothing but praise for the kitchen team. For starters, we ordered the kimchi pork dumplings and grilled octopus, which both tasted great, but the kimchi flavoring did overpower everything. Our main course included the marinated short rib, wag rib eye, and a5 5 brisket which were all cooked to perfection by our server. However, my experience at Perilla Steakhouse was hands down frustrating. Upon arrival, things were off to a rough start when I could barely hear the server over the music. At times, I felt like our server was rushing us through our meal based on how much less attention he gave us versus the other tables. I'm not someone who needs my glass refilled every minute either to be clear, but things did feel off with how slow our meal was paced out and the general disinterest the server had in us. For reference, we arrived early to a nearly empty restaurant that hadn't started peak dining time yet. I recognize the steakhouse is an upscale, chic take on traditional Korean dishes and I admire the chef for sharing his culture with the city. I also understand restaurants are going to be more expensive, the closer you are located in relation to downtown. Even so, in comparison to other nearby high-end restaurants, the price to portion ratio for our meal felt off. For example, our $16 dumplings included 3 dumplings on a plate. Yes, there's an argument for inflation and the cost of quality ingredients, but I argue that at this price point we shouldn't have left hungry either. read more

Got 2 premium cut sets and they came with unlimited banchan. We also got an extra salad for the table and probably could have done without. The meat portions weren't the largest but all of the food was well cooked and delicious. We especially liked the short rib. I was a little sad I didn't get a marinated one since it wasn't GF, which is interesting since they do their glass noodles with tamari so I don't see why they can't just do that across the board. Oh well. Also might not be the best spot for a private date or conversation since they do spend some time actually cooking the meat in front of you as opposed to other places that let you cook it yourself. read more

Perilla absolutely exceeded my expectations. The premium set was incredible -- perfectly paired with the banchan, ssam, ssamjang, japchae, and scallion muchim. The soondubu stew was rich and comforting, cocktails were on point, and the white peach sorbet was the perfect ending to the meal. Amazing food, beautiful presentation, and such a great dining experience! We are planning to go back to try their brunch menu! read more

Wasn't too hard to get a last minute reservation for a Monday night. The restaurant is in the hotel building here (can't remember the name now). Came here with my sister, and we were able to order one of each tasting menu. All of the meats were delicious, high quality. The Wagyu tasting menu was of course much fattier and more tender. One of my fave cuts of meat was the Wagyu ribeye cap, not surprising. The Wagyu hanger from the premium tasting menu was my fave cut from that menu. The servers were friendly. They cook the meat for you at your table, so depending on how they're staffed the night you go and how busy they are, you might have a short wait between some bites. But it wasn't noticeably slow. The tasting menu is served with japchae (yum!), assorted banchan, salad, and ssamjang sauce. They also give you sesame oil with salt and pepper. Most of the meat was seasoned so well, it didn't even need sauce. The banchan sides are great to help cut the fattiness of the meat. If you ask for rice, they will give you some. I know they give you lettuce to wrap, but I prefer a little white rice to help cut the grease personally. Was happy they had it! If you want to order meat à la carte, the biggest surprise of the night was that the marinated short rib which is usually a fave was oddly the least seasoned and the marinade was not super flavorful. I would stick to the Wagyu hanger or maybe one of the ribeye options. Would recommend for some good beef and good service! read more

This is by far the best restaurant I've been to that was attached to the hotel I was staying at which is L7 Chicago by Lotte. I ordered the small ceaser, Korean fried chicken, and smashed burger + beer combo. Everything was perfect. The salad was refreshing, crunchy, and flavorful. Light but filling. The Korean chicken had a tinge of sweetness/spiciness with perfect fried skin. Also, very juicy. Burger tasted like a really elevated Big Mac which is great, and fries were solid too. The bartender who I think was Andrew did a great job serving us too. He was a one man show having to deal with everyone at the bar. So glad we were able to try the food from here. The ambiance is also nice and elevated, definitely a good date spot. read more

The entire is well done and has an amazing vibe The food was amazing and it didn't disappoint. We did the rice cake and Korean fried chicken from the small plate section. I had the Waygu ribeye which had the best marinade . It's cooked at your table by the staff an melts in your mouth. I also had the Brussel sprout side-which was also very good. My partner had the steak fritas with 2 Sunnyside eggs. read more

Chic space and elevated take on KKBQ. The rice cake cacio e pepe was a standout and Korean fried chicken had amazing flavor and crunch. However, for such a premium experience, the service fell quite short. Our host was very kind, but service was very slow. What's nice is they do grill your meats at this location, but the griller was not very friendly at all, even when we tried to engage her in conversation. This really changed the energy of our dinner. We also ordered two sets, and the second Wagyu set was much more burnt, it would have been nice if they changed the grill between sets. Had the pace of service and personality been different, it would have truly let the flavors shine. read more

Good quality, poor quantity, good value. I made a reservation for a dinner at Perilla on restaurant week. The dinner course was $60 a person so the sub-total was $120 not counting drinks. For the first course, i chose japchae and mixed greens salad. The salad was nice but as there was more veggies that came with the second course, I felt like this was a redundant and wasted dish. The japchae was really delicious and I wish I chose two orders of that instead. For the second course, it was a no brainer to choose two of the grilled meats tasting. There was a server who helped cook the meats to requested done-ness. The meats were delicious and paired well with the banchan (side dishes). I especially really enjoyed the narinated short rib as it had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. For the final course, there was only one option of a dwenjang snickerdoodle. I enjoyed the dessert as it scratched the sweet treat itch without tasting so overtly sweet to where I would feel disgusted afterwards. For beverages, their selection was quite limited when it came to non-alcoholic options. In their "spirit free" section, they have only three drinks and at the time of my 8pm reservation, they only had one option left which was the Hallasan Volcano. I did not like this drink at all. Although I have great spice tolerance and generally enjoy spicy things, this drink felt overwhelming with different flavors and sensations especially when it came to the szechuan peppercorns. The server noticed that I didn't enjoy this drink and offerd to remove it from the tab which was nice. The alternative option for non-alcoholic beverages was a bartender's creation. I listed out my preferences which was something fruity and tropical-- similar to a pina colada, and the bartender made something which fit that profile. The drink they made was alright and I think I would've been satisfied without that. The service can be better. Despite a reservation, there was no seating available when I checked in and I was required to wait 20 minutes to be seated for a reservation made weeks ahead. There was a ton of dead time between when I was seated and when the server came back to take orders for drinks/appetizers and our meal. The drinks took a while to come and there was even more dead time in between that and the first course. In general, the pacing of this three course meal was quite poor and there was too much dead time from the point of being seated to the main/ second course with the meat. Afterwards the rest of the meal felt quite rushed which is unfortunate because that extra time would be best appreciated between the second and third courses. The biggest red marker of my experience was when it came to the drinks. I had explicitly mentioned to the server that I do not drink and would like to order from the non-alcoholic section. When the drinks initially came, the server brought us two drinks which turned out to be alcoholic. I didn't realize until I took a sip of it and thought it tasted weird. I brought this to the servers attention and they swapped the drinks out for what I had originally ordered but the massive issue of serving alcohol to someone who has an explicit preference to not drink alcohol was never addressed. As someone who doesn't drink for personal reasons, I felt extremely violated and was so frustrated with the situation as the magnitude of this error was minimized to the point of not even acknowledging it. I had reached out at a later time through OpenTable and then later through Perilla's website to express my frustrations with this experience and their ignorance and failure to acknowledge and address this problem and have not heard back after weeks. This just sours my experience more since I would really expect better in-house service, and at the very least overall customer service when directly reached out to, from a Michelin Guide recognized restauraunt but this is just another instance of disappointment with this establishment. I would hope that this experience is completely isolated and these issues don't plague other people's experiences in the way that it had affected mine. read more

A friend and I decided to come here on 2/5/26 for Chicago Restaurant Week. We both had never been here before. We walk in and notice how pretty the restaurant is. They seated us in the back of the restaurant. Our server's name was Patty. She was friendly and helpful. The dinner here is a full EXPERIENCE. We were given a complimentary broth first and that hit the spot because it was a cold night. They have a place inside the table where a fire can be lit for cooking meat. They cooked the pork belly and the steak for me which were both good. They are very generous in the "freebies" they give you to eat with the meal. I really enjoyed the flavored radishes and fishcakes. They also have kimchi and a few other items. Staff were nice and the food was pretty good. I especially liked the chicken wings. Things for improvement - When the freebies were put down on the table, the female waitstaff said what they were but my friend and I couldn't understand what she was saying because it was relayed too fast. We had to ask to repeat a couple of times. As a newbie, that is a bit frustrating. Also, when we got our bill, my friend happened to notice that a 5% charge was automatically added for a "kitchen staff support fee" We both didn't like that at all. If you are going to do that, explain to us verbally that is a fee they would like to add to the bill and ASK if it's okay to do so. I didn't see until I got home that the receipt at the bottom said that it's an optional fee which is too late by then to have it taken off. The restaurant is responsible for paying it's workers, not the diner. The tip we had no problem with, it's standard and Patty did a good job. Parking can be a bit tricky to find due to the area. We parked kinda down and around the corner where there was metered parking. It was a fun experience but my friend and I agreed it wasn't a place we could see ourselves coming back to. read more

Our very first stop for brunch when we arrived in Chicago! Right outside of the loop, you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. The bulgogi breakfast sandwich was juicy and flavorful, and the accompanying hash brown was perfectly crispy. The smash burger that my cousin got was also a hit with our group! Service was attentive, accommodating, and welcoming. Vibes inside were warm and 100% felt like you were in a Michelin level restaurant read more

Not even being dramatic when I say this was one of my most favorite dining experiences ever. I don't go out of my dining comfort zone often, but I'm so glad I did here. Perilla is the best! Decided to visit during restaurant week, and I have to say, the menu was amazing. I got the japchae, and now I've been looking up recipes because I have to have it again. I could eat that all day, everyday. Everything about it was perfection. We also ordered the korean friend chicken a la carte, which was chef's kiss. We ended up getting the grilled meats tasting, and I loved it! I was introduced to so many great new foods like fermented soybean to put on top of the meat. I was so, so happy. I love that the severs also make the meat at the table. It really felt like a luxe experience, and it is! With the gorgeous, intimate interior, it's hard to argue otherwise. Our server was also super nice and chatty with us, which we loved! She was awesome, and I wish I remembered her name. The meal finished with carrot cake. I've never had it before, and it was just okay to me. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet. Although, I'm saying it was okay, yet I still nearly finished it, so that should tell you something. I've been talking about Perilla ever since my visit. I absolutely need to come back here. read more

Got the premium set plus the soondubu and 60 days dry age ribeye. Favorite cut of the night was the ribeye. The premium set wasn't bad either but didn't enjoy the marinated cut that much. The banchan was just okay and among the banchan, I enjoyed the salad and the pickle radish the most. Everything felt unseasoned and the pajeon wasn't that good. The sauce carries the pajeon though. The service was 10/10. They were super nice and took care of everything for us like water and banchan refills. Overall, great service and had an amazing time! read more

WOW this skirt steak was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I still dream of it. The fries were also exquisitely crispy and sharp in taste. My cocktail was bubbly and delicate, my favorite. I had come to meet my mother before going to a musical, but due to it being dye-the-river-green day, she got too caught up in traffic. Luckily, the staff was incredibly patient, attentive, and understanding as I decided to just sit there and read while waiting to see if I should order or not. Inside was tastefully modern read more

Perilla korean steakhouse - Steak and Steak & Eggs Steak Frites Champagne supernova - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Only had brunch/ lunch at this location, so that is the only thing I'll be reviewing (though their dinner and Korean BBQ menu also looks very good). Their brunch and lunch menu have some solid options, and reservations are fairly easy to get whether it's a weekday or weekend. I got the steak frites and my friend got the steak & eggs. We also tried the korean donut and got mimosas. The steak was the highlight; the accompaniments were okay (the fries I got were too salty and the the eggs/ rice were fine, nothing spectacular). I'll probably opt for a different entree if I come back. Other brunch items people were getting around us looked very good (like the soufflé pancakes and breakfast platters) and service was incredibly prompt and friendly. read more

Dinner for 2 exceeded our expectations tonight. Our server Danny was amazing! He was very attentive and went out of his way to ensure there wasn't any gluten cross contamination for my dishes. One additional perk, they cook your beef for you where as at other KBBQ restaurants you cook everything yourself. We shared the $65 set and it was so much food with the ban Chan. The chap chae was our fave dish tonight. I also noticed how thoughtful they are with the presentation. Even the lettuce and perilla were placed in alternating older. The cocktails are creative and complex. We tried a few different cocktails and liked them all: alchemy of souls, sparkling penicillin and mizunara make fizz. We would definitely come back with the fam! read more

I highly recommend the smash burger (comes with truffle fries). This was super delicious and honestly one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life! It was so good that we ordered a second one after we ate the first. We also ordered the Korean breakfast with skirt steak, which was good, but didn't stand out as much as the burger in my opinion. Service was super friendly and very good. The ambiance is amazing and the restaurant is decorated in an upscale modern chic style. read more

I had an amazing experience at Perilla Steakhouse for restaurant week! The space is so beautiful, not as stuffy and dark as a traditional steakhouse. My friend and I were seated at a two-person booth with a grill. They have tables with grills that work for all party-sizes which is great! The Restaurant Week pre-fix menu was three courses. Here is what we ordered: *Steak tartare toast - lemon-y,, creamy, and so delicious *Japchae - so, so good!! We loved the wok-fried noodles *Grilled Meats - the star of the show. The best part is the staff grills it for you so there is no user error. My favorite was the marinated short rib. *Carrot Cake - I'm not the biggest carrot cake fan but this was still yummy and satisfied my sweet tooth. We also ordered the chicken wings which was delicious! I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. The staff was excellent. So welcoming and helpful guiding us through the menu. We had a wonderful time! read more

Loved our time at Perilla Steakhouse. We came here to celebrate our anniversary. The staff from the hostess, bartenders, wait staff, & grill masters were are so very friendly. We were taken care of so well. The restaurant has chill and elegant vibes. The seating is nice where you can still talk without having to yell across the table despite the place being full. The food was excellent. We got the premium meat set and the quality was great. The grill masters all cooked the meat perfectly. The house made samjang was a perfect pairing to the ssam (of course they give you perilla leaves). The meat set also came with japchae, and it was good. The grilled octopus was definitely a highlight. It was nicely charred and full of flavour. The tteokbokki was good, just wished it was a bit spicier- although maybe my belly was happy that it wasn't. The brussel sprouts were so good! Nicely charred and had a bit of a tang. read more

Hailing from Los Angeles, which has a large Korean population and a fairly large Koreatown with a fair share of Korean BBQ places, I am familiar with the concept. Perilla Steakhouse touts itself as a fusion of the classic Chicago steakhouse with a Korean BBQ place. I found it to be pretty classically Korean, with the requisite in-table grills and perhaps a wider variety of premium sides and additions (like caviar). It also had better ventilation and of course higher prices. Here someone cooks your meat for you on the grill. Perilla Steakhouse is located in the L 7 Hotel by Lotte in the Loop. As such, it also serves interesting breakfast and lunch menus with American and Korean options. For dinner, one has the choice of 2 steakhouse sets, Premium or Wagyu, priced per person, with 6 oz of various cuts. They come with several banchan (sides), ssam (lettuce and perilla leaves), sauces, japchae (wok-fried glass noodles) and a scallion salad. Meats can also be ordered a la carte. I ordered the Wagyu set, which had ribeye, ribeye cap, short rib, NY strip and marinated short rib. I think the marinated short rib and the NY strip had the most flavour. The banchan were okay; I wish there had been some fresher options instead of just pickled and/or fermented ones. The salad and japchae were fine. Just the set is a lot of food, but I also wanted to try some of the sides/starters, so I tried the Korean fried chicken and egg souffle. The chicken was appropriately crispy, mildly spicy. I prefer a sweeter finish that some versions offer. The souffle was appropriately fluffy and tasty. For dessert, I ordered the Perilla sundae. It was a pretty classic sundae with the addition of fermented cherries and puffed rice. Overall a decent dinner. I think on the whole I prefer Chinese and Japanese cuisine over Korean, Indian or Thai, perhaps partly out of familiarity and also because I am a wimp when it comes to spice/heat. That being said, one of my favourite Los Angeles restaurants was the now-closed, critically acclaimed Yangban, a Korean restaurant with some Jewish influences. read more

Perilla Steakhouse offers an exceptional Korean BBQ experience. The meat sampler, prepared by the server, includes a variety of banchans and sides. Each sampler provides a generous 6 ounces of meat per person. Or you can order meat a la carte. I ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice, which comes with blue cheese. While the blue cheese adds a unique flavor, I found the richness to be excessive for the rice, try it on the side. Danny, our server, was exceptionally courteous and provided detailed explanations of each dish. Very modern and clean interior with several booths and bar. I highly recommend Perilla to anyone seeking a premium Korean BBQ experience while in Chicago. read more

I've ordered their sundubu twice now and it's watered down garbage. Also, why is there raw onion? Huge chunk of it in my soup. Completely inedible. Also absolutely no spice either! I understand restaurants adjust spice level for the American palette, but there was absolutely none here. NONE. This is an embarrassing rendition of sundubu. I implore the Korean owners of Perilla to eat this and tell me this tastes like sundubu, or that it's even good. I gave this restaurant 3 stars instead of 1 because the BBQ and breakfast items are reliable. read more

Went here twice during my stay in Chicago. Decent place I'm still curious to try their other dishes. Steak and Eggs: 8/10. I ordered this due to the reviews I saw praising the chimichurri. When it arrived, the chimichurri looked different than the pictures I saw. The review pictures I saw showed a green chimichurri on top of the steak but I got an orange chimichurri on the side. I gave it a try but I didn't enjoy it. It was a hot sauce Tabasco taste that I did not enjoy. Steak was perfect. My BF really liked the rice but it was okay to me. I ordered my egg over-medium but next time I would get it steamed or as an omelette. Breakfast Sandwich: BF gives it 8/10. I'd say 7/10 because the cheese was kind of sour. 1st visit Service: 10/10. We loved Santiago he was very kind, friendly, and helpful. He gave us recommendations for our trip and overall treated us very kindly. Steak and Frites: 8.5/10. I decided to get the streak again on my 2nd visit but this time with fries and see if the chimichurri was any different. I asked the waitress to describe it but she said she couldn't so I asked her if it is green (because in the review pictures I saw it was green) and she said yes. But then it came out orange just like the other time I got it so I was disappointed. The steak was good as last time but 2 of the pieces were undercooked and stuck together this time. Fries were delicious, as well as the sauce. I ate my steak with the fry sauce instead. Lunch Special: Overall rating 7/10. Steak 9/10 Steak was good but BF didn't like the sesame seeds. Eggs 9/10. Cucumber 10/10. Kimchi 7/10. Radish 5/10 too sour. Seaweed Soup 3/10 Bland. Ginger Beer: 8/10 2nd visit Service: 5/10. I sent my plate back for the undercooked steak and the waitress dropped a fry on my seat when she took my plate. When she returned the food, she took our other plates and the utensils also so I had to ask for my chopsticks back. Given the chimichurri miscommunication also, I wasn't impressed. Ambiance: 10/10. Beautiful and fancy. We were sat next to K-pop idols during our first visit so that was cool. read more

For an upscale Korean restaurant, I expected the food to be impressive, and the food certainly delivered. The prime steak that came with the Korean lunch tray was crispy and delicious. And to be candid, everything from the banchan to the soup was superb. The only downside was the service, which could have been more attentive. Regardless, the food alone makes it worth the visit. If I were to visit again, certainly I'd come back with my mother who is the harshest critic around. read more

We loved Perilla! It's an expensive Korean Bbq restaurant in downtown Chicago, but is also well appointed, and its design fits its price point. The service was good, the wagyu was excellent, and the Banchan had really good offerings. While the Wagyu option is a bit more than I've seen elsewhere, primarily on the west coast, it pair well and the beef tallow on the burner plate prior to cooking was a nice touch. The olive oil cake at the end finished clean and it wasn't an overly overwhelming smoky as you will see in AYCE Korean Bbq restaurants. Nice place for quality food to take a date, recommended. read more

I went to Perilla for dinner for our anniversary and it was a lovely time. We arrived early so we got a drink at the bar and waited in their very spacious lounge area. Perilla is an upscale Korean bbq restaurant, but the staff will grill the meat for you table-side to your preferred temperature. Some of the highlights included the Brussels sprouts (well charred with some nice sweetness). The grilled octopus was probably one of the best things I've ever eaten...it was perfectly cooked and went so well with the accompaniments. The meats come with some traditional side dishes which were all fresh and delicious. I had the premium steakhouse set and the stand out meats for me were the wagyu hanger (so tender and flavorful) and the marinated prime short rib. All the staff we interacted with were all so friendly. We were even given a happy anniversary card, it was a lovely touch. read more

Overall the vibe was pretty good! It is an upscale Korean restaurant so the portion for the meat (6 oz) is pretty small but we got full from the banchan, japchae, fries, and egg soufflé. As a Korean-American, it's crazy to dine in an upscale Korean restaurant. It's more of a tasting menu so be aware of that. The salmon tartare was the best thing we had with a bunch of layers. If you're a Chase Sapphire cardholder, you get complimentary salmon tartare! The meat was fine but definitely a type of restaurant to go for an event like birthdays or anniversary. The peach sorbet was so tangy and it was not my favorite. The chocolate cake was probably my fav dessert. I do want to try the lunch menu but not sure if I would come back for dinner. read more
